Wortenia Senki (WN)

That night, the Earl of Salzberg was elsewhere in the hustle and bustle of the castle, caged alone in his study.

He is now wearing a family heirloom armor that he has never worn in many years, with a love sword next to his chair, and countless bottles of liquor scattered around him.

If you're a normal person, it's a drunken, sleepy amount.

But Count Salzberg's brain crossed, and his eyes looked to the universe with a raw light like a beast.

(It's been a long time since I've had a burning sensation on my skin)

The feeling that Count Salzberg felt every day until that day when he took the title from his father.

This is a human instinct that should also be called a sixth sense.

It's like a human being who exchanges life on a daily basis can wear it naturally.

(Back then, I didn't like this feeling and couldn't wait to...)

Count Salzberg's father was a man of nobility and loyalty.

He is also a brilliant and admired personality.

As a lord, as a warrior, it is also an undeniable fact that his power was above standard.

But at least for the Earl of Salzberg, his father is not someone worthy of respect. Yes, my father's idol, which I believed in for years, was shattered and scattered.

(Hmm... looks like you're here)

The Earl of Salzberg felt that a long-awaited guest had finally visited.

There is already no anger I have felt since the beginning of the war.

All I have is the readiness and the will of a man who has accepted his destiny.

"Get in. The key is open."

The door opens immediately after the words are released from the mouth of the Earl of Salzberg.

"Ho... I thought you'd hesitate a little. I'm just worried if it's audacious or thoughtless."

When he saw the face of the man who appeared before him, the Earl of Salzberg smiled.

Too inconsiderate an attitude to be honest.

Indeed, Count Salzberg is right, this place is in the middle of the enemy line. It's natural to be able to strike and deceive, and it's a natural battlefield to be hit.

In that sense, it can also be considered the pinnacle of stupidity, such as being told to go in and go in without hesitation.

"Well, you're the one without a thought. 'Cause I thought to myself that a man like you wouldn't do some boring little work."

With that said, Ryo Jin scratches his head with lightness.

"As long as they say that, I can't say anything more."

The Earl of Salzberg laughed out loud in such a bright and true manner.

"Long time no see. Baron Shiba. Was it during the Zaluda reinforcements earlier that we met in person? What happened to those sisters you followed all the time? I can't see you."

"Yep. Thank you for your help with that verse. I'm a little far away from them right now with all the things I can do for them."

To the inquiry of the Earl of Salzberg, Ryo Jin lowered his head with a grin.

In fact, it is indisputable that the connections of Count Salzberg in northern Roselia were very beneficial for Liangzhen, who has no connection or handover whatsoever, to say that he was taken a large intermediary fee.

In that sense, Count Salzberg can also be a benefactor to Liang Zhen.

The Earl of Salzberg opens his mouth as he looks to enjoy such a bright and true attitude.

"Well, your lord seems to be in a lot of trouble."

"Absolutely. It's going to be hard."

"Fine. When you're young, you say you'll have a hard time. It's about hard work."

With that said, the Earl of Salzberg turns his gaze to Ryojin as he explores.

"By the way, all the disturbances since last night are at your mercy, right?

"Yeah, to distract the security..."

The content of that word released from the mouths of the two is indeed sword swallowing.

However, the two continue their conversation with the ease of feeling as if they were tea-drinking friends.

"Hmm, you've succeeded in your aim. Most of the guards are also out of town to crack down on the noise. I just wanted to say it's brilliant inside, but isn't it just a little dastardly? After the first war, I heard from Signis and Roberto, but I hear your army soldiers do quite a bit. I was insulted when I heard there were many young women and children, but to be honest I am surprised... they would have been able to do each other without resorting to measures"

"Fool, honestly, we just started a fight from the front, and there's just gonna be more dead people in vain."

In that word, the Earl of Salzberg laughs bitterly.

Sure, you don't have to kill soldiers for nothing. Soldiers are pawns and walks by analogy to chess and chess, and on the other hand, they have a strong aspect as consumables, not that they may be consumed in vain.

Not to mention, there would naturally be an aspect that the other person cannot even be treated too intangibly, beyond being a person rather than an untold pawn.

Liang Zhen's words are only extremely natural hearts and minds as generals.

But the Earl of Salzberg was sensitive to the sincerity hidden behind the words.

"As far as it goes. You don't want to stop this fight by saying you don't like the loss of your power? The next prey is the neck of Lupis Roselianus?

To the inquiry of the Earl of Salzberg, Ryo Jin just kept quietly silent.

But the fierce grin on its face tells the story of it all.

"Hmm... but I don't know your lord very well. Why are you being so mean? Sure, His Majesty Lupis may have broken his promise to your lord, but his opponent is the king. Considering the difference in identity, it's an extremely natural consequence. Besides, you can say you broke it or you can reward it in a different way. It's impossible in this country to make a civilian a territorial nobleman. I don't know what you're talking about..."

"So you want me to live according to that woman's will?

Ryo Jin mocked the inquiry of Count Salzberg.

Indeed, given the common sense of this earth world, where identity systems exist, there is no doubt that it is Ryo Mitsuki who is wrong.

Surely Liang Zhen's anger would not be justified. But that only works if the two are on a reciprocal footing.

There are teachers who blame students for their mistakes, but few students blame teachers for their mistakes, and it takes considerable preparation and effort to do so.

It's easy for the president to blame his men for their mistakes, but it will be difficult for them to blame the president for their mistakes. That is what we must be prepared to resign.

Because it is an intriguing fantasy to say that there is no identity difference in modern times, and people are still never reciprocal.

"Sure, I'd be somewhat angry, too. But following her will never hurt you, will it? The nobility gives you many things. [M] Money and women stay as they wish. Dress in luxurious costumes, enjoy good liquor and food, and hang out with beautiful women. Don't you think it's worth a lot more than fighting for?

"Well, sure..."

Liang Zhen nodded quietly at the inquiry of Count Salzberg.

Ryo Shiba is a true and healthy man.

There was a natural desire to have a sweet night with a beautiful woman, and even a good meal deserved to want to eat.

I'm not so interested in clothing, but it's still a good decision to have properly matched clothes over clothes full of worn out cloths.

But...

"I understand what the Count is trying to say. But I think I have something more important than that."

"Hmm? What's that?

(Well, don't get lost when they ask you again... Daiyi? Benevolence or loyalty? Hegemony to the King's Road. Friendship in love...... hate in anger. They're all quite right and I don't think they're all wrong)

Count Salzberg asks, and countless words come to light in his true heart and disappear.

"Come on? What is it?"

Words I said with a bitter laugh on my shoulder. It really manifests itself in Ryo True's heart.

Any lofty will transform itself into an earthen mass as soon as it is put into words.

But even if I can't express my heart in words, I'm not lost in Ryo's true heart.

The light that dwells behind your eyes is your absolute pride in yourself.

That's something for the Earl of Salzberg that he lost the day he killed his father and took the throne.

"You're young, your lord. I'm jealous... I threw that away a long time ago."

With envious eyes narrowed, the Earl of Salzberg slowly shook his neck to the side.

In fact, Count Salzberg envied your son Ryo Shiba. Something unwavering about him.

"Is that because of one example?

The moment I heard the words, Count Salzberg's complexion changed.

"What is it about?

The look on the face of the Earl of Salzberg was clearly tenacious, while remaining perfectly calm.

As a samurai, as an exchanger, the Earl of Salzberg before succeeding to the countenance boasted exceptional skill and track record.

There is a reason why it suddenly drowned in its own enjoyment.

"Count Salzberg, I've heard a lot about you from Mr. Elena. We've been supporting the front lines of defense as a key to the northern part of the Kingdom of Roselia, why you turned leopard..."

That's a question you don't have to ask.

The only thing that matters to Liangzhen is killing Count Salzberg on this occasion right now.

But Ryo Jin wanted to know. Something that changed the Count.

"Ho... well, speaking of which, Lord Elena was in that place at that time."

Under Liang Zhen's straightforward gaze, Count Salzberg slowly spoke of his past.
